VS-880EX with a Digital Sampler
Because the VS-880EX has digital inputs, it is a natural companion for a digital sampler.
SYNC:
You can use MIDI Time Code, MIDI Machine Control, or MIDI Clock to synchronize your sequencer with
the VS-880EX. If possible, set aside a port on your MIDI interface for the VS-880EX and use a different port
for your sampler(s). If you are using the VS-880EX as the master device sending MIDI Time Code, make
sure that you connect the MIDI OUT connector of the VS-880EX to the MIDI IN connector of the sequencer.
Make sure that MIDI Thru is set to Out and that the sync source is set to internal. You will also have to set
the VS-880EX to generate MTC and make sure that the frame rate matches that of your sequencer (the
VS-880EX defaults to a frame rate of 30). Also, remember to set your sequencer to sync to incoming MIDI
Time Code.
AUDIO:
Connect the analog and/or digital output of your sampler to the corresponding input on the VS-880EX to
record or monitor your sampler on the VS-880EX. If you are using digital connections make sure that
sampling rate of your sampler matches that of the current song on the VS-880EX. With this setup it is also
possible to create an automated mix by recording your fader movements into your sequencer as either
MIDI Control Change or System Exclusive messages.
